Sensory bins are a way to stimulate senses while also teaching valuable academic and developmental skills! I’ve created five fall sensory bins that are sure to be a hit with your little learners!

Before I show these amazing fall sensory bins, let me share with you some ideas for fillers. You can use anything inside your bins…but in case you are drawing a blank, here is a quick sheet to help your creativity flow!

So as you take a look at the following fall sensory bins, just know you can insert these academic pieces into any materials you want. I used the materials I used because that was what I had in my classroom!  I threw things I had into Sterilite storage boxes and I was done! Your extra crafting supplies will finally come in handy!

Practice uppercase letter identification and matching with this bin. Children pick a leaf and then must find the correct spot on their board by matching the letters. I use velcro dots on each square on the board and the back of the leaves to help them keep their pieces in place and organized!

Here’s a video of my son working on this activity. I taped the header cards into clear photo storage boxes and had him sort the shapes accordingly.

Here’s a clip of my son completing this board. Whenever we do sensory bins inside the house, he sits in a collapsible ball pit I got on Amazon. This helps contain the mess and keep his little sister out of the way.

 Practice reading and creating ten frames with this bin. Children pick a turkey and then must duplicate the ten frames on their board. I used pom poms as the manipulative for filling in the ten frame but you can use anything you have available in your room.
